| Abstract | Future computing system designs will be constrained by power density and total system energy, and will require new programming models and implementation strategies. Data movement in the memory system and interconnect will dominate running time and energy costs, making communication cost reduction the primary optimization criteria for compilers. Communication cost can be divided into latency costs, which are per communication event, and bandwidth costs, which grow with total communication volume. Latency can be reduced by a number of techniques, including message aggregation, reducing software overhead of messaging, and overlapping communication with computation or with other communication events. While these techniques have been studied extensively, there are still many open challenges in automating these techniques in the context of explicitly parallel programs. I will describe some of the history of this work, and the program analysis challenges related to keeping a simple semantic model for programmers. Bandwidth reduction requires more substantial algorithmic transformations, although some techniques, such as loop tiling, are well known. These can be applied as hand-optimizations, through code generation strategies in autotuned libraries, or as fully automatic compiler transformations. Less obvious techniques for communication avoidance have arisen in developing algorithms that are provably communication-optimal, the so-called "2.5D" algorithms in dense linear algebra. I will describe how these ideas generalize to other loop nests and some initial thoughts on automating such transformations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
